About the Competitions

Each meeting includes a judged competition. Judges are invited by the Oakland Camera Club to critique and score our monthly competitions.

Members may submit up to four digital pairs for projection and up to four printed stereocards or phantograms for each competition.

Many Oakland Camera Club meetings also include a special competition that challenges members to photograph a specific subject or theme. Members may submit an additional set of up to four images for each special competition. See the special competiton schedule for details.
